Drunken Chicken 2 (绍兴醉鸡)



INGREDIENTS:-

3 - 4 chicken thigh, debone


Marinate
2 - 3 slice ginger
1 tbsp shao xing wine (绍兴酒)
1/2 tsp salt

Sauce A
1 pc angelica root (当归)
3 red dates (红枣)
1 tbsp wolf berries (枸杞子)
150ml water
150ml chicken stock

Sauce B
150ml shao xing wine (绍兴酒)
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar


INSTRUCTIONS:-

1) Bring all ingredients in Sauce A to a boil and simmer for 15 mins. Cool the mixture before adding Sauce B in. Keep chill in fridge for use later.
2) Clean chicken thigh and pat dry using kitchen towel. Season with marinate ingredients for 30 mins.
3) Place individual thigh on a piece of alumimum foil, roll up the mean and wrap the foil around it. Tighten the sides like sweet wrapper ends. Make sure the meat is wrapped tightly.
4) Steam over medium fire for 20 mins. Once done, unwrap the foil, place chicken in a deep dish. Pour sauce prepared in Step 1 over chicken. Pour enough to let chicken soak in sauce.
5) Leave it outside for 2 - 3 hours before place it in the fridge for a day for chicken to absorb the flavours.
6) Cut and serve chilled.
